Thus, throughout the ice tongue, different flow rates and tensions are present.

During the collision, a five-kilometre-long section of the ice tongue was broken off.

An ice tongue forms when a valley glacier moves very rapidly out into the ocean or a lake.

The portion of the ice tongue extending beyond the shoreline or grounding line floats upon the water.

Drygalski Ice Tongue is thought to be at least 4,000 years old.

It was darker under the ice tongue, but Ants were used to night and had boosted their sensitivity to infrared.

It continues for about 1 kilometer to the north and the ice tongue stops at an altitude of 2160 meters (status 2007).

An ice tongue is a long and narrow sheet of ice projecting out from the coastline.

Portions of the ice tongue become unstable, rupture, and calve icebergs.

The Odden Ice Tongue has not been observed since 1997.

It was first noted in the 1930s, but finally detached from the ice tongue off and broke up in the late 1980s.

They then crossed the Drygalski Ice Tongue and turned inland.

Moreover, such wave action also impacts the ice caves accessed along the leading edges of the ice tongue.

However, some drain directly into the sea, often with an ice tongue, like Mertz Glacier.

Erebus Ice Tongue projects 11-12 km from the coastline, reaching up to 10 meters in height.

Although this feature is a glacier tongue, the generic term ice tongue has been retained in the name to reduce ambiguity.

This exposes the ice tongue to pounding waves from McMurdo Sound.

Weddell seals are commonly sighted by visitors to the Erebus Ice Tongue.

The dynamics within floating ice streams such as the Erebus Ice Tongue are complex.

The difficulties may end soon, however, as the berg is drifting toward a glacier, the Drygalski Ice Tongue.

Ice streams such as the Erebus Ice Tongue wax and wane like the moon.

Stress and friction increase along the flanks of ice streams such as the Erebus Ice Tongue.

The Erebus Ice Tongue produces flat-topped or tabular icebergs.

Following the Neoglaciation, the Jakobshavn outlet formed a floating ice tongue around 2000 years before present.

The sea is mostly ice-covered, and the Thwaites Ice Tongue protrudes into it.
